What's the Story?

While running errands today I saw:

A car with three dog passengers, all in car seats.

A heavy young woman in spandex, pushing a double stroller packed with two kids and groceries, accompanied by two huge dogs on leashes. She crossed the street and then started jogging...at a very speedy pace, I might add.

A grandpa-aged man riding in a battery (I guess) powered wheelchair. It had a little cart on the back carrying two tanks of oxygen, and he had an oxygen tube in his nose. He was also pushing a stroller with a toddler in it!

A man at a stoplight ahead of me, whose wife (or close friend) was cutting the hair in his ears. At the next stoplight she cut the hair in his nose.

Somebody should put these people in a book. I'd love to know their stories.

You've got to be kidding me! We just drove to the East coast and back and didn't see one thing like those crazy scenes. You've got to be one observant lady. I'm going to keep a better eye out and will let you know what we see.

Oh, good lord...I don't know how you managed to keep driving withoug crashing....especially seeing the couple in the car clipping hairs. I don't know whether to be amused or disgusted by them.

As far as those dogs in car seats....what a hoot. I hope they give equal time and attention to the 'real' people in their lives. This was too funny Marty....thanks sweetie. Have a most wonderful weekend....

I observe the same kind of stuff all the time in my walks with my grandson. Friday's goodie was a guy sitting off on a side street on top of a beat-up old suitcase carrying on conversations with what seemed like about 10 different people -- who weren't there! Dylan and I gave him a pretty wide berth as we passed by, I must say, ha! I carry pepper spray with me when I walk, just to be careful.

Write Away

"I try to leave out the parts that people skip."

On Record Keeping

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience."
